RAILROAD RESPONSIBILITY.
A Curious Holding of the Court in the
Case of a Broken Axle.
Seldem r. Hopkins in Wide A,oake.

Selden r. Hopkins in Wide A,oake
A common carrier of passengers, with
their baggage, assumes as to the passengers
two distinct species of responsibility; one
as to their persons and another as to their
baggage. Before the introduction of rail
roads, when passengers by land travelled
almost exclusively by stage-coach, the Sup
RENE Court of Massachusetts, laid down
generally accepted rule: THAT carriers of
passengers for hire are bound to use the ut
most care and diligence in the providing of
safe, sufficient and suitable coaches, har-
nesses, horses and coachmen, in order to pre-
vent those injuries which human care and
foresight can guard against" Since rail
roads have come to be the principal means
of land travel in Europe and America, and
as a rate of speed never dreamed of when
stage-coaches were so universally in vogue
the courts both in England and the United
States have given the general rule broader
and more stringent application. Some years
ago an accident happened to a train through
the breaking of an axle, and number of
passengers were injured. Suit was brought
against the railroad company for damages
The company showed that the car had been
built for them by skillful car builders, and
while in the process of building it was care
fully examined by an agent of the company
both with respect to materials and work
manship, and again when it was completed
was carefully inspected in every particular
1t had been in use with safety 16 months be-
fore the accident. The car-builder had OBJ
tanned the axle from an approved and skill
full manufacturer and that the defect in it
as was shown could not have been detected
by the most careful examination nor by
striking it with a hammer. The plaintiff
showed that the fault in the axle
could have been detected while it
was being made by a process of bend
ing, and that the company did
not SO test it. The opinion of the court was
that the railroad company was responsible
for all defects which might at any time
during the process of manufacture have
been discovered in any manner and then
remedied and to the same extent as if the
company had manufactured the axle in its
own shop and by it's own workmen, and if
there was any test known which at any
time might have been employed to discover
concealed defects in the axle the company
was guilty of negligence for not making
such test,

THE WILICzA SALT MINEA
AN Interesting Description of q Won
derful Place Near Cracow.
From the Washington Star.

derful Place Near Cracow.
From the Washington Star
Washington lady has received from her
sister, now travelling in Europe, the follow
ing graphic account of visit to the noted
salt mines at Wilicza, near Cracow:
After a comfortable days journey from
MOSCOW we arrived in this old Polish city
OF Cracow, situated on the Vistula. There
are many places of interest here to the Wis
ltor, one of which is the old cathedral,
founded by King Cassimir. 1t contains the
graves of John Sobesli, PoniatowSlti, Kos
clusko, ETC., also Thorwaldsen's statue of
Christ. The Wilicza salt mines, which have
Deen worked for 900 years, and are wonder
iully grand in appearance, are seven miles
distant from the city. We drove to them
through most beautiful country, getting
glimpse of the peasantry and many queer
and interesting sights
Arriving at the mines, we put on long
wraps and caps ready to be lowered in an
iron cage-like elevator 300 feet below.
There we were met and escorted by guides
tuary, the roof Of which was supported by
huge pillars and arches At one end was
an altar, brilliantly lighted with candles
and surrounded with statuary, life size,
carved entirely out of salt. No earth was
TO be seen anywhere, only this salt rock--a
gray-looking, granite-like substance, and
somewhat moist. After a walk of perhaps
ten minutes we came TO a sudden stop be-
lore large door, which, at signal, was
thrown open, disclosing to our view an inn
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1887-10-20

mense ball room, with beautifully smooth
floor of wood. AT the same moment a brass
band began to play the most delightful and
enlivening muse. We were all bewildered
with this scene, so far underground. High
above our heads the salt roof spanked
and was barely visible. From the roof hung
about twenty immense chandeliers contain
ing thousands of bright lights. AT one end Of
this hall was an Illuminated picture initial
ing stained glass in most perfect way. The
music was SO enlivening that one after
another of our party found themselves upon
the floor dancing. The band stopped play
ing and disappeared. We were then con-
Quoted to a number of large rooms or halls,
the band always preceding us, playing as we
entered, but being never again visible to u.s.
Words can give no correct idea of the
grandeur of this place, and the peculiar SEN
stations it awakened. We were next led
through a long, dark passage-way,
which brought us to the lake, where we
stood spell bound, gazing in wonder upon
the beautiful water Colored lights were
reflected flashing iii the water from side to
side, the band, hidden from view, playing
some very sad, plaintive melody in slow and
mournful strains, to the rhythm of which
we found ourselves moving bodily and
suitably lover to the other shore.n Without
noticing it the platform upon which we
were standing was being drawn by some in
visible means through this beautiful lake to
the opposite side. Such a scene and sur
roundings, creating such impressions, can
come to us but once in lifetime, and many
were deeply affected by it, so that unbidden
tears filled our eyes. Words are inadequate
to express in any satisfactory
way what we saw and experienced
in this trip. Not word was spoken while
the plaintive music echoed again and
again through these long halls and passage
ways, until we had reached the steps of the
upper landing, when we could hear it no
more. We re-entered the elevator, to rise
to the upper realms again, feeling we had
the full value of what at first seemed a very
high charge for the trip. We then returned
to Cracow. From the window of our room
we look down on the beautiful blue Dan
ube' which is worthy of all that is said and
written about it. Opposite the hotel stands
the old cathedral, in the tower of which
lives man who, every hour day and night,
tells the hours with bugle call. 1t is a
quaint and beautiful old custom, continued
in some parts of Russia
